There is no doubt that MC has done a superb job in taking us from the brink of admin to where we are now.

Patience is the key, a trait that sporting fans are not usually known for.

I don't think the hard work and stress of running a club like ours will ever go away but, as we start to get some results things will get better all round.

Come on MC, realist the excellent work done and despite the moaners, EVERYBOBY appreciates the job being done.

The problem with twitter and the forum is that there is always a knee jerk reaction on here and in the bigger picture, things are never that bad.

The highs are not as high as they appear and the lows are not as low as they are portrayed.

More of us need to remember just where we were 3 1/2 months ago !

I guess after working near miracles to get to the start line, the reduction in capacity was a real kick in the nads.

I think MC was quoted as wanting a 6.5k average crowd this season to stay buoyant and he should, quite rightly, have expected at least that figure for the first game. The light at the end of the tunnel was in fact a train coming the other way.

With only 3 matches at home in the next 3 months, cash flow will be a big challenge.



Maybe we need to be a bit more proactive in getting the numbers up, and perhaps this is somewhere the Supporters' Trust could take a lead?

With season ticket sales being fewer than we would have been hoped, we need to push advance ticket sales. Getting people to commit to attending, (especially after a couple of pints with their mates?) and guaranteeing entry could be the key.



If we had agents in different areas around Wakefield coordinating sales through local businesses (shops/pubs etc.) and amateur clubs, the numbers could improve. I've seen posters advertising the next home game in such places in Stanley, perhaps we could extend this by making tickets available. Sale or return basis, with a deadline a few days before the match?

There will be some cost, printing tickets etc., but if the coordinators/agents were volunteers, it should be minimal.

Another possibility would be to have tickets available on-line which could be printed out (like Salford?), but maybe security and technology costs would be prohibitive?

Worth a try?

No one has done more for this club than MC has in the last few months and you will get the fans throwing a teddy after performances like Thursdays but that's frustration and not aimed at MC.As for the bars etc lets remember the club have just taken that side in house again so give them chance.

Don't let us lump constructive criticism in with whinging for the sake of it though.

A great man once said ` don`t tell me what I am doing right, I want to know what I am doing wrong so that I can improve `
